“Eric Adams, State Senator, Makes Video Showing Parents How To Spy On Their Kids (VIDEO) - Huffingtonpost.com” plus 1 more |
| Posted: 31 Jan 2011 11:06 AM PST Brooklyn State Sen. Eric Adams wants parents to know how to find guns and crack pipes in their kids' backpacks and strip search their dolls for drugs. Adams made a YouTube video explaining, in detail, the steps parents should take to spy on their kids. When it comes to constitutional rights in the home, Adams explains, children get what their parents give them. "You write the constitution," Adams explains in the video. "There are no first amendment rights inside your household." He then goes on to show how even the most innocent items in a child's room can actually be hiding places for drugs and guns. "A small-caliber weapon could be hiding inside a jewelry box," Adams says. "Run your hands over the pillows and see if you feel anything that's unusual." From the Daily News
"You would be surprised how many parents are disconnected from the drug and violence culture," Adams told the Daily News. "They believe it's on TV, not in their house." Adams said he regularly searches the room of his 15-year-old son. He also routinely inspects his child's backpack. The former NYPD officer said parents need to find out whether their children are engaged in illegal activity, before police show up to their home and take everyone to jail. "It would amaze you how many decent families where you have professional parents - teachers, medical professionals - and all of a sudden, we'd call and say, 'We have your son here in possession of a gun' or, 'Your daughter has been selling drugs,'" Adams said. "It's right in their house. ... They don't enter their children's rooms."

| Bond denied for Florida mom charged in kids' deaths - CNN Posted: 31 Jan 2011 10:45 AM PST Julie K. Schenecker, 50, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- A Florida mother who allegedly told police she shot her two teenagers to death because they were "mouthy" was denied bond at a court appearance Monday, a court spokesman said. Julie K. Schenecker, 50, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of her 13-year-old son, Beau Powers Schenecker, and her 16-year-old daughter, Calyx Powers Schenecker. Judge Walter Heinrich said Schenecker likely will undergo a psychiatric evaluation, according to CNN affiliates WTSP and WFTS. "I assume in the future, the defense will request the appointment of doctors," the judge said. "That's something that will take place after they file the appropriate documents." Police were called to the family's Tampa home on Friday. Schenecker's mother called from Texas to express concern about her daughter's welfare, saying she was depressed, Tampa police said in a statement. Schenecker was found sitting on the back porch of the home, dressed in bloody clothing, authorities said. Her son was found dead in the family's SUV, parked in the garage, and her daughter was found dead in an upstairs bedroom. "She did tell us that they talked back, that they were mouthy," Tampa police spokeswoman Laura McElroy told WTSP at the time. "But I don't think that will ever serve as an explanation to the rest of us of how you could take a child's life." Investigators told WFTS that the woman allegedly shot her son as she drove him to soccer practice, then returned home and shot her daughter as the girl studied on a computer. A preliminary investigation indicates the teens were killed Thursday night, the police statement said, but the county medical examiner would determine their time of death. Schenecker's husband is in the Army, WFTS said. Police told the station he was in Qatar when his children were killed. Schenecker appeared in court Monday via video link from jail, WFTS reported. She held a tissue and wept softly during the two-minute appearance. Schenecker did not enter a plea at her court appearance Monday because of the likely-pending psychiatric evaluation, according to Hillsborough County Court spokesman Calvin Green. No new court dates are set in the case, Green said. Prosecutors have 21 days to present the case to a grand jury. Prosecutors will not comment because the case remains open, said Mark Cox, spokesperson for the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office. In Session's Aletse Mellado contributed to this report.
